Take a Walk on the Wheel Side…

Whoever said you don’t want to be going in circles has never experienced a medicine wheel! Indeed, take a Sedona vortex medicine wheel tour, and you’ll find out why going in circles may be exactly what you need.
Medicine wheels are constructed to indicate the four compass directions. They can be bigger than a football field, or small enough to fit in the palm of you hand. Usually set out in rock, the wheels can represent many ways of looking at life, and are considered medicine in their native cultures.
We have several medicine wheels that are easily accessible in Sedona. Each of these Sedona wheels has its own look, and its own teaching. In your Sedona Vortex Medicine Wheel Tour, you’ll experience some of these wheels and learn ways to experience their potential.
Once at a wheel, your guide will introduce you to that wheel, while calling in the directions and smudging you. As you enter the wheel, you’ll be taught to practice the healing modality of that wheel and experience drumming and songs to more deeply connect with it.
As you learn which aspects of medicine wheels appeal to you, you may be inspired to create your own wheel once you return home — yet another way to keep your Sedona connection strong!
Spiritual Sedona Yoga for Beginners

What do you get if you take one of our spiritual Sedona tours and add in some yoga? A spiritual Sedona Yoga Tour! Starting your new yoga experience in the outdoors — especially in the red rocks of Sedona — can immediately boost your yoga connection.
Not to worry if you can’t sit cross-legged or touch your toes. Our yoga teachers realize that the physical aspects of yoga are secondary to the true nature of the practice — the connection you develop with yourself as you explore your inherent yoga nature. As long as you can breathe, you have automatic success with every pose.
Indeed, if you are not flexible, the very practice of accepting that physical inflexibility becomes itself a successful practice. Our teachers work with you to determine what style of yoga will best help you. For some it’s a very still practice, while for others it may involve more movement.
Your yoga practice can also be tailored to help you to become grounded, to become energized, to release old blockages or invite in new energies — whichever approach serves you best. Learning and practicing your yoga with the Sedona vortex energy will begin your practice with the help of Sedona’s powerful energies.
Feel free to bring a camera and have your teacher photograph some poses for you to take home. You’ll leave with a new knowledge of poses and yoga philosophy that you can take with you and continue to grow!
Summer Does Not Mean an End to Tours in Sedona AZ

We’re getting into our warmer summer season here, but that doesn’t mean that tours in Sedona AZ have to come to an end. While we are a desert landscape and can experience high mid-day temperatures, there’s still ample opportunity to connect with the special energies here in the mornings and evenings. In fact, the lighting on the rocks is often at its most captivating in these early morning and evening hours.
Spiritual Sedona tours can take on a special glow with the rising and setting sun. Imagine a Sedona vortex yoga session as the sun is setting, the air is cooling, and the rocks are glowing. Or a photography tour at dawn, with your Sedona tour guides helping you to capture that first glimpse of a new day. Sedona hiking tours, wonderful at any time of the year, now offer chances to reconnect with the lizards and butterflies that reappear this time of year, and soon the baby quail will join us. Because our tours in Sedona AZ are not prescheduled, we’re happy to start your tour in time to catch the sunrise — or to take you out in the evening to catch the setting sun — letting you connect with the energies here at any time of year.
